Music

Well, there goes the last shred of good will I had for the Circle City's crazed embrace of the Super Bowl:

Indianapolis, IL, United States (AHN)

Will the Kindle Fire make the 7-inch tabled really take off?

And so on and so on and scooby, dooby, doo-be:

This is just nuts:

Country music stars Sugarland have been accused of "gross negligence and/or recklessness" by the family of a fan who was killed when a stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair in August (11).

The duo, comprised of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, have been named as defendants in a notice for a possible lawsuit over the catastrophe, which claimed a total of seven lives and left 40 injured.

Organizers of the 2012 Olympic Games in London have dusted off The Clash's "London Calling" for use as a "come-see us" promo, which some are calling the most clueless use of a song since Ronald Reagan appropriated "Born in the USA."

So long, iTunes, hello Amazon:

I notice that while I was on vacation, Republican City Councilwoman Liz Brown proposed an ordinance that would prohibit companies from contributing to the mayor's campaign while they are being paid by the city or participating in a city bidding process. An Indiana Election Division official says the ordinance would be illegal because rules on campaign finance are governed by state law.

Want to feel really, really old, baby boomer music lovers? Check out this gallery of rocks stars then and now. Keith Richards may have aged the worst, although all the Rolling Stones look like they were buried then dug up. On the female side, Patti Smith and Grace Slick take the "Oh, God, my eyes!" prize. David Bowie and Joan Jett still look pretty good. Does anything look sadder than 60-something rocksters still dressing the same way they did 40 years ago?

Every city needs a theme song, don't you think? Fort Wayne's should be Vince Gill's modern country classic, "One More Last Chance," which contains the memorable refrain: "Give me one more last chance/Before you say we're through/I know I drive you crazy baby/It's the best I can do." We are talking, of course, about the Harrison Square project:

"It's tough to be a saint" department:

He is the rock legend dubbed 'Saint Bono' for his long-running campaign against global poverty.

But when Bono's band U2 perform at Glastonbury later this month, protesters are planning to accuse them of avoiding taxes which could have helped exactly the sort of people the singer cares about so dearly.
